That's what I'm hoping to do tomorrow after I get back from the grocery store. On the way out of the bookstore today, I picked up a bargain Crock-Pot cookbook that has three sections: chicken, soups & stews, and five ingredients or less. I'm going to look through that, in combination with my coupons, to see what I can make for the week.
My goal is to bring all of my lunches in, as well as cook all of my dinners at home, instead of having takeout. My first diet doctor's appointment is on Wednesday, so I know I'll be eating less after that, and I'm going to have to eat cheaper to afford this doctor.
ItotallyON, congrats to Matt and beth on the new job!! Good for you!
And in Obama news, Michelle's official portrait.
I had some bacon that had to be used. (Darn!) So I used it for split pea soup. I use a little garam masala in my split pea soup. A neighbor sent over a loaf of bread fresh out of the oven. Why is it only 3:00 and not yet dinnertime?
Interesting choice of the Jefferson portrait in the background.
OMG you guys I am so cranky. I spent from 8:00am to 3:00pm at the music store today for a total of 2 half hour lessons at 10:30 & 11:00. There is no fucking reason I had to be there longer than an hour, and yet? I was.
AND THEN we get home and the SO crashes out and I wake him up AS REQUESTED and he's cold and tired and cranky at me because I suggested he might have been better off to have gone with me and the dog for our walk. Which would have gotten him warm and his blood moving and nice day and open air. BUT NO! And why is he cranky? Because he's overextended himself. Surprise, surprise.
Harumph.
And now I'm going to clean the whole house during the six hours he'll be gone tonight playing bass. It should go well, because I clean well cranky.
cranky is the best for cleaning. Angry is bad because you throw things. Sad, well you move to slow. Bored, well we know what happens. Happy -- what dirt? Cranky -- it is easy to be fussy and focused and not let that dirt defeat you.
Michelle Obama is gorgeous.
I finally picked up my comic pull after a month and the comic guy tried to sell me a Spike Smile Time puppet. Not for $65.
I had a Baconator for dinner. I may or may not regret that.
I got
The Graveyard Book
from the library. I guess I can read it tonight!
We were supposed to start pulling up the last of the carpet today. But DH is helping a friend with a collapsing floor. So maybe not today....
